On Friday May 4, the Peapod Preschool in Eminence held a Trike-A-Thon. The week leading up to the Trike-A-Thon, the students followed the curriculum for the program that includes riding-toy safety lessons provided by St. Jude Children’s Hospital. The students gained sponsorships that helped the Peapod to raise $642.47. The money will assist in saving the lives of children battling cancer and other diseases at the hospital.

Sheila Maddox’ math classes at Eastern Elementary school began collecting pull tabs to donate to the Ronald McDonald House at the beginning of the school year. The students brought in more than 50,000 tabs! Jo Brewer came and collected them Wednesday, May 9.
